Immigrant rights: know your rights as an immigrant

Do you know your rights in the USA? If you are an immigrant, you have civil rights, human rights, and legal rights. You have these rights even if you are undocumented or in detention. Learn about your rights.

The National Immigrant Justice Center is available to provide legal counsel and provide legal referrals. You can contact the National Immigrant Justice Center at its toll free number: (312) 263-0901. This document is for people who are afraid to return to their home countries because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) and/or due to their HIV status. You may have a defense against deportation if you fear you will be harmed or tortured if you are deported to your home country.

Living in the USA – know your immigrant rights

The Immigrant Legal Resource Center’s Red Cards were created to help people assert their rights and defend themselves against constitutional violations. They help people know their rights an immigrant (whether here legally or not) or even a citizen may exercise if confronted.
